My apologies, but etiquette is "The practices and forms prescribed by
social convention or by authority." (yay, Dictionary.com!)
Etiquette is a social rule, not a personal opinion. On this list,
etiquette is spelled out at:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List_etiquette#MythTV-users_specific_etiquette
You may personally like top-posting, but someone else may enjoy TYPING
IN ALL CAPS OR 13373 $P34k. Your viewpoints are as valid (in general)
as anyone else's, but on this list, such practices are considered bad
etiquette.
Or, in short:
On the Myth lists, Top-Posting = Bad. Post-pruning = Good!
